Before venturing into the Ladies Professional Golf Association, many professionals have built their reputations in amateur golf. The remarkable performances of Rose Zhang upon turning professional have prompted fans to also closely follow the world of amateur golf.

With the same anticipation and hope to “chase the white ball around the world,” Hannah Darling has also grabbed the attention of golf enthusiasts in amateur golf. Despite the limited information available to fans about the amateur golfer, here we offer additional insight into her background. That said, let’s delve further into the life of Hannah Darling and discover more about her!

Hannah Darling’s path through her amateur career

Hailing from Scotland, Darling was born in July 2003, currently pursuing her goals as a 21-year-old amateur golfer. She doesn’t like to talk a lot about herself, with 3.2k+ followers and merely 50+ posts on her personal Instagram account. Born to David and Moira Darling, the Scottish golfer has been pursuing her dream since the age of 13.

At a remarkably young age, Darling claimed victory in the Scottish Girls’ Amateur Championship in 2017, becoming its youngest-ever winner. Following that, she even represented herself at the Girls Home International. While the tournament didn’t conclude Darling’s early amateur career, she further clinched victory as the first-ever winner of the British Girls U16 Amateur Golf Championship.
